A non-governmental group the Indonesian Judiciary Monitoring Community (MAPPI) said law enforcers should now turn their focus on uncovering the larger obscured network behind the recent tax scam that involves police, judges, prosecutors, and local and multinational firms.

He said the National Police and the prosecutor’s office which were all involved in the case should not restrict the case on Gayus stressing his belief that there are more top police officers involved in the case.
The case, leaked to the public by whistleblower Commissioner General Susno Duadji earlier this year after he lost his chief detective post disgracefully, have so far snared two middle-ranking officer and the whistleblower himself despite more generals named in the case, all were under the Special Economic Crime Directorate.
The law he said should press Gayus to coopearte by providing more information that could help law enforcers to get more of those involved in the scam.
A prominent group, the Indonesia Corruption Watch said judiciary fixing and tax evasion in the country are actually using old scheme, in which big companies disputing their tax amount approached tax officials in charge to bring down the numbers in exchange for bribe, not just for tax offcials but also for all related officials.
Seven companies were mentioned during the interrogation stage of the case between March to June this year. They are PT Surya Alam Tunggal (prawn packing firm), Excelcomindo, Dowell Anadrill Schlumberger, and Indocement, and three Bakrie & Brothers units; Bumi Resources Kaltim Prima Coal, and Arutmin. The latter three were those involved in tax arrears dispute with Sri Mulyani’s Finance Department.
Gayus reportedly also admitted during the interrogation stage that his Dispute and Settlement Unit in charge of handling complaints over amount of tax payments handled over 140 companies which include Thiess, Chevron, and Ford Motor Indonesia.
